1. Content elaboration
1.1. reading the labels on food products to identify their country of origin
1.2. identifying the areas in Australia and Asia where major food or fibre plants and animals are grown or bred when designing environments for food and fibre production, for example the wheat and sheep belts, areas where sugar cane or rice are grown, northern Australia’s beef industry
1.3. exploring environments which could improve plant or animal production, for example a greenhouse, animal housing, safe bird shelters
1.4. etc.
2. Across Foundation to Year 10, achievement standards indicate the quality of learning that students should typically demonstrate by a particular point in their schooling. The sequence of achievement standards in each Technologies subject describes progress in the learning area, demonstrating a broad sequence of expected learning. This sequence provides teachers with a framework of growth and development in each Technologies subject. An achievement standard describes the quality of learning (the depth of conceptual understanding and the sophistication of skills) that would indicate the student is well-placed to commence the learning required at the next level of achievement. The achievement standards for Technologies reflect the distinctive practices of each subject along with aspects of learning that are common to all Technologies subjects. Subject-specific terminology and organisation reflect the essential characteristics of learning in each subject.
